Identity, sense of place and community. Indigenous women: Tia shares a story.

On this episode of Thursday Night Talk: The Race Beat host Lorna Bryant discussed cultural appropriation vs. cultural appreciation. The discussion centered around how it's defined and, once identified, how to move to cultural sensitivity and humility - by all people. 

On this week's Food For Thought, Jennifer Bell talks with Miguel Uribe about growing native foods in the mountains of Michoacan, Mexico.

Miguel's Tierra Viviente Agricultura Organica works with farms throughout the region, promoting organic cultivation and finding markets for the community harvests.
